Frequently asked questions

How does HouseCheckup measure crime rates?
HouseCheckup uses two official sources: police.uk street-level crime data (updated monthly, covering all 43 police forces in England and Wales) and the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) crime domain, which ranks every neighbourhood in England by crime severity. Together these give both current crime data and long-term patterns.
Does crime rate affect property value?
Yes. Research from the ONS shows that areas with lower crime rates command property price premiums of 5–15%. Burglary and anti-social behaviour have the strongest negative effect on property values. HouseCheckup's IQ Score factors crime into the overall property assessment.
How current is the crime data?
Police.uk crime data is published monthly with a two-month delay. HouseCheckup always shows the latest available data. The IMD crime domain is updated periodically by the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government.
